My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

17 Marigold Lane (Prudence Penderhaus Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore was an intriguing, emotional read, that had me hooked and reading into the wee hours.

Wow, this book was something I tell you. I started reading it a little later in the evening thinking, I’ll read a few chapters before I go to bed. Well it’s almost 2 in the morning, so yeah, you can say that was a reading fail on my part. I couldn’t put this book down, I kept trying, but my mind would not let it go, and sleep wouldn’t not come. So I kept flipping the pages to unravel the mystery, and I just had to know more about Cassius and Prudence.

I will say that the start was a little slow, for me, but that didn’t put me off because the writing and tone was hooking, and Cassius was such an interesting well written character that I had to know more about his situation. Research and care went into his development, and it made him such a realistic character, that I wanted to protect him just as much as Prudence. Speaking of, at first I wasn’t a fan of hers, no that’s not right. I wasn’t a fan of how she was presented. The author kept repeating at first that Pru wasn’t anything special, and all that normal YA jazz, so that threw me off. But once Pru’s true character got revealed, I was on board, and frankly, she’s probably the best YA character I think I ever read about. I’m glad the author quickly moved away from that typical cliché, and made Pru not only a relatable realistic character, but loveable and strong.

Overall this story is worth your time and energy. It’s complex, well written, well researched, compelling, original and it will get you right in the feels. So please take my super high recommendation and golden stamp of approval, that you will not be able to put this hidden gem down.

Happy Reading

Wow – 17 MARIGOLD LANE is the first book in the “Prudence Penderhaus Series” and I admit that the cover made me think it was going to read like a Stephen King novel (awesome reference to one of SK’s novels). It is not horror in the classic horror style. What is horror is that even those this story is fiction, these things still happen in our country everyday.

The writing is spot on, the story flows perfectly from beginning to end and the emotions this book caused… The way the character of Cassius is written is just brilliant (based on my limited experience) and Prudence is pure perfection.

This is one of those books that I would recommend to my younger cousins and elderly friends and their bookclubs.

I look forward to finding out who moves into 19 Marigold Lane in the very near future.

What an OUTSTANDING read! R.M. Gilmore was a completely new author to me when I picked up 17 Marigold Lane, but she will now be on my top fav list! I must check out all that is available from her now! This book is one that completely consumes you from the very first page to the last twist and turn to the end. I found myself so engrossed that I barely noticed the ticking hours well into the early morning hours, sleep be darned. I was so sad to see this end, but find solace in the fact that there will be more Prudence Penderhaus novels.

Prudence Penderhaus… this girl! I completely fell in love with her character. She has been the girl that everyone loved to hate, bullied all through high school and struggling to find her place in the world. Everything is about to change for her with death sentence that she is giving. Who knew that the day she found out she was dying would in turn be the day she began to live? So many fantastic suspenseful moments kept you on the edge of your seat. The emotions are real and you feel everything right along with Prudence. I loved the supporting characters as well and was fascinated with the boy who looked like a character from a Tim Burton film. I can’t say enough great things, but I won’t spoil any of the good details for you. For that you will have to take my recommendation and one-click this 5 star read!

17 Marigold Lane by R.M. Gilmore is he first book in the Prudence Penderhaus series. This is one of those books that, once you start, you won’t be able to stop reading.
Within the first couple of chapters you will find yourself laughing and crying as the author takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. The author does a fantastic job of making it seem like you are right there with the characters, going on the same journey as them.
The story was interesting and different enough from anything else I have read before. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

This story was amazing!!! I have to say that the cover is what caught my eye. R. M. Gilmore is off the chain. She knows how to grab your attention and keep a hold of your interest until the last word of the book. There is a mystery and suspense throughout the story. I never saw what was coming around the bend. This story is about Prudence. She is a diamond in the ruff. The other kids as well as Prue does not think so. She is a strong and will not back down if she believes in. She meets a boy from the “spook house”. There is so much more in the story but I am not a fan of spoilers. Enjoy 17 Marigold Lane and keep your eyes open to see what is coming next.

I loved this story! This is a well written story with well developed characters. This was an emotional roller coaster for me. One minute I was laughing and the next crying but loving it all the same. This is Pru’s story. When she finds out that she has cancer, instead of feeling sorry for herself she takes life on where she meets Cassius. Life throws them curveballs, will they come out okay together? They support each other and made me feel part of their story. A must read!

By: R.M. Gilmore
5 out of 5 stars

The story 17 Marigold Lane (Prudence Penderhaus Book 1) by R.M. Gilmore is a YA/coming of age book. It is a story that grabs your attention from the very beginning, and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about the character of Prudence Penderhaus. While some may think of her as a freak or weirdo, I found her to be independent and caring. She has a determination when needed and doesn’t back down from what she believes is right. She finds herself on the porch of the house that the town has dubbed a spook house. There she meets a boy that no one knew existed. What does the future hold for Prudence? Who is the boy that she meets? Read this book to find out. Prudence is also facing a medical issue that she would rather ignore. I couldn’t help but care about Prudence with each chapter that I read. The story has mystery and suspense that will keep you guessing and wondering what is going to happen next. Don’t miss out on a wonderful story that has unforgettable characters. I highly recommend reading it.
